The Woman Upstairs by Claire Messud

Club Rating:  3.9
The Woman Upstairs
Nora blamed others and held on to her getting 'shorted'.  She didn't want to be like Aunt Baby but ended up exactly like her.  Her dioramas were of very negative people.    Nora was positive outwardly but had so much negativity in her head.  Nora invested everything of herself in the relationship but for them, it was one of many relationships.  She was an incredible writer with beautiful prose.
